The recently approved device simplifies operator manipulations by loading a balloon and filter onto the stent.

Background: Patients with atrial fibrillation were excluded from clinical trials evaluating carotid artery stent(CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA).We performed this analysis to identify the ...

When surgical intervention is needed, carotid endarterectomy involves removing plaque from the artery, while carotid stenting uses a small tube to keep the artery open. The choice depends on the ...

Introduction: Patients with atherosclerotic carotid artery disease are at high risk of mortality in the long-term follow-up after carotid endarterectomy (CEA), partly due to dysrhythmia. Atrial ...
